Pump triggers reactor shutdown

One of the reactors at the Indian Point nuclear plant should be running by the weekend after malfunctioning pumps this week shut it down, plant owner Entergy Nuclear said. Two pumps on Indian Point 2's non-nuclear side that send water from a tank to the steam generators stopped operating while workers were testing a valve. Entergy spokesman Jerry Nappi said there was no release of radioactivity and no threat to safety.
